Jennie Coffin and 40 other First State Bank and Trust treasurers went on a Smoky Mountain trip with Diamond Tours. They spent a day at Dollywood, went to the Biltmore Estate and had a guided tour of the Smoky Mountains. They attended three shows - The Miracle, Black Bear Jamboree Dinner and Show Theater and the Magic Show.

Coffin said they were gone seven days, had a wonderful group of people and came home with fond memories.

Coffin had a supper July 2 at her home. Attending were Virginia Mills' family, the Genevieve and Herb Schwinn family, Bob and Alfreda Ryan, and Coffin's family. Roughly 50 people attended.

On Wednesday, July 2, Evelyn Schwinn, Peggy Gillaspie, Emily and Luke Cole, and Kyle Schwinn went to Oskaloosa to the swimming pool to watch several of the little "kiddies" of the Schwinn family take their swimming lessons. Then they visited the cemetery.
